I don't want to hear about honest mistakes or unfortunate accidents, I want "What did you think would happen" to be the byline. Several episodes of the Dollop would qualify.

https://twitter.com/replyall/status/1526981831748468740 Reply All is ending after 8 years, which I'm fine with. I've been listening for like 4 or 5 years and it definitely hasn't had the same energy it used to for a while, which probably has to do with that whole Test Kitchen debacle that led to one of the hosts leaving.

I still have Reply All on my podcast app but I won't really miss it. The feed has probably had more repeats and ad episodes in it than real new episodes for a long time now.

That announcement that they were overworked and taking a few months off just to get all their ducks in a row and that then they were going to put out the really good episodes wasn't a great sign. So this isn't too surprising. It had a good run though.

In the 00s I remember every blog doing that eventually. The updates would start to get more infrequent. Then there would be nothing for months. Then a post apologizing for the lack of updates but promising renewed efforts to come. Then a few more posts. Then nothing.

Well There's Your Problem has too much banter for my tastes I recently finished episode 5 of The Silt Verses season 2 and loved it. It's nice to see something I thoroughly enjoyed the first season of still going strong. I also just listened through all of Video Palace. I wouldn't recommend it, but it's a pretty good example of what I find wrong with a lot of horror podcasts. I didn't realize just how tired I'd gotten of the "found footage"-style frame that is so prevalent in the genre, where everybody apparently feels the need to justify why they're recording instead of just let a story play out. The Magnus Archives is the only one that I can think of where that approach is an actual strength, while others always walk a fine line between it not getting in the way and it forcing massive eye rolls: "Hey, listener! I discovered this spooky thing and decided to make a podcast as I investigate it. I'll obsessively keep recording no matter how hosed up everything gets." Video Palace's other great sin is that the protagonists seem virtually devoid of agency and ultimately achieve nothing. They're just railroaded at high speed from "spooky" unexplained happening A to "spooky" unexplained happening B, with one of the protagonists literally saying at the end of the season something along the lines of "In the end, all I have are more questions." You and me both, sister. Unfortunately, the show never compelled me to care what the answers to those questions might be.

Is there anything like Blank Check but for video games? They do movie conversations about what they like about the film and the director and stuff but Griffin always spends like an hour on the process of making it. Which is interesting for me because I know nothing besides that they got made. Like the fact that Sam Raimi Spider-Man 1 and 2 were being made basically at the same time and Tobey Maguire nearly didn't get brought back for 2 is news to me. I'd love to have that for video games so I could know what kind of stuff got dummied out and blanderized in the finished product. Like the many iterations of Duke Nukem Forever and probably 3 attempts at MGS4.

I really hope Good Faith gets enough backers, from the description I'm imagining it like Topics but leftist. Just complete and utter commitment to the bit to the point of being loving unlistenable. God, Topics kicked rear end.

im not really sure what i'm looking for. i'd love an actual play style podcast, but one also sort of .. focused more on character builds and the like vs. characters and acting, that sort of thing? Maybe not D&D 5E either just because there's SO MANY, but no strong preference there. does anyone have strong recommendations on this front?

Both of them are literally just the hosts making characters based on a specific theme/idea, maybe doing a little fun thing with them, before moving on next week to a new one.

Am I dumb or is there no thread for Your Kickstarter Sucks? Pretty sure at least one of the hosts is/was a poster here. For some reason I never got around to listening to it before even though I love all the ”adjacent” podcasts, and now I can’t get enough of it. It has a kick-rear end theme song too!

I still like listening to timesuck. But it's a bit hit or miss for me. He has so many episodes about serial killers where he's describing murders in great detail, and that crime show poo poo feels perverse to me. So I ignore those, except today i listened to one about a serial killer in France during WWII, and it was fantastic and one of he craziest poo poo I've heard in a while. Has anybody listened to more of them and has recommendations?
